It's six o'clock the trumpet sounds, it's time to get up
Another fine day in the army has begun
March in the square, backwards and forwards all day
Obey the orders or go to jail
Pick up your rifle and start to shoot
No matter what you think about it, it's something you must do
I didn't want to come, he didn't want to come
So what have we done

Surrounded by those stupid, ignorant pigs
Generals and captains who can't write or read
All living examples that show how clever you've got to be
To have a career in the Italian army
Isn't it time this ridiculous farce is abolished?

I didn't want to come, he didn't want to come
So what have we done
I didn't want to come, he didn't want to come
So what have we done
